"An excellent day on the mountain. The instruction was clear, the pace was perfect and I felt confident throughout the day. The route was challenging and enjoyable, and I learned a huge amount about movement and decision-making on scrambling terrain. I'd highly recommend North West Mountain Guides to anyone looking to develop their mountain skills."
